Li Wei is the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, a woman disguised as a man. After Shangguan Ye schemes to change her face, she is subjected to death by dismemberment. Reborn, she finds that the face-changing has already taken place. Forced to survive as a eunuch, she must tread carefully at every turn, all for the sake of protecting her parents.
Everyone says Shangguan Ye murdered his father to seize power and is ruthless in his methods. Who could have guessed that he would be subdued by Li Wei, the Crown Prince who hates showing her face? But strangely, Li Wei completely changes her ways and becomes a tyrant, while the thoroughly wicked Shangguan Ye becomes her personal eunuch.
At first, he torments the little eunuch in body and mind. Later, the little eunuch torments him in turn. She makes him understand that everything in this world comes full circle. He finally sees the error of his ways, but he and she keep missing each other.
In my previous life, I lived beneath your skin, barely surviving, trampled like an ant. You brazenly stole my identity and stood in court in my place. In the end, I was condemned to be cut to pieces. That sentence was yours to give. In this new life, I can offer you my skin; it is only something external. But you belong to me.
That year, Li Wei put brush to paper and wrote half a letter, unaware that the other half had long been hidden in Shangguan Ye's heart.
